LOOK FOR FIRE-ARMS.

SPECIFICATION forming part. of Letters Patent No. 377,531, datedFebruary '7, 1888.

Application filed May 18.1887. Serial No. 238,618. ,(No model.) v

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JACOB NrcELY, of Enon Valley, in the county ofLawrence and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and ImprovedDouble-Barreled Gun, of which the ML lowing is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

The object of my invention is to provide for releasing the hammers oftheloclrs of adouble;

barreled gun by a single trigger; and the invention consists in thepeculiar construction and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter fullydescribed, and pointed out in the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar figures of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the views.

Figure l is a plan View of a portion of a donblebarreled gun and itsstock, parts being broken away. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same withparts shown in central longitudinal section, and Fig. 3 is a crosssection on the linear x of Fig. 2.

The loclts of the double barrcled gun. 11 are or may be of the usual orany approved construction, the hammers 12 being provided with the usualtumblers, lightning notches for the points of the scars 14. Each sear14: is pro vidcd with an inwardlyprojectinglug orstem, 15, which extendsto the center of the stock and above the table 2 of the centrallylocatedtrigger 16. Thelugs15 are arranged in relation to each other, so thatthelug of the right-hand sear will be slightly lower or nearer the table2 of the trigger than the lug 0f the left-hand sear, as shown in Fig. 3,so that when the fingerpiece 3 of the trigger 16 is pulled back ward thelug 15 of the right-handsear will first be engaged and the right-handhammer released, and by a further movement of the trigger the lug of'theleft-hand sear will be engaged and the left-hand hammer released, or bya quick movement of the trigger both hammers can be released in rapidsuccession, no time being lost in moving the finger from one trigger tothe other, as in the case of the ordinary construc- DlOll.

If it is desired to use but one barrel, either the right or left one canbe used. As thcreis' m'ore room under the guarihthe gun can be firedwhen a glove is on the hand. v

Any gun with good locks can be fitted with a single trigger.

. Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Iatent- The combination ofthc two locks of adoublebarreled gun, the scars of which are provided withlugs projectinginwardly and arranged in (litter-entplanes, and a trigger centrallylocated in the stock between the locks, substantially as shown anddescribed, whereby provision is made for releasing either of the hammersor both in rapid succession, as set forth.

JACOB NICELY.
